just connect the antenna(better digital one) at the back..then tuning/searching channel for digital tv

what app do you guys use for china live tv? i tried some of the apps recommended here but none seems to be working for me.

disconnected and removed my old antenna at the roof after fried by lightning......found the apps to watch local tv programmed from the tv box.....only problem need to use a mouse instead of the remote to control......still learning.......cheers

SKY 4k

i use this one, indoor unit cost around rm20

No surprises there... The moment I read seller recommended the TX6s as easy to use, 10k+ programs, etc.. I'm already turned off d.. It's a decent box, no doubt. But I also believe you need to understand that Android TV boxes are a different experience than Astro box. This is also why we here ALWAYS recommend older folks to simply stick to Astro and cough up that monthly sub as nothing.. literally nothing available matches their offerings, reliability, and ease of use. It's either that or adjust your expectations accordingly and be willing to learn the cord-cutting life's way. It's not an easy one in the beginning, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes a breeze.

As other forummer pointed out, your TV already has a DVB-T/T2 built-in tuner with support for free-to-air digital TV (about 15 channels), so you can get a decent antenna, a Belkin or etc surge n lightning strikes protector. But seeing as you've already suffered one too many strikes, perhaps skip this route?

The Unifi TV package in your plan should come with login details that allow you to watch Unifitv using the Android playtv@unifi app..Since you already bought the Sony kd55x7500h TV, I would suggest you install the unifitv app on it and logon.. if it works? Then at minimum, you have some live TV channels covered. I believe your Sony should be running ATV OS and there's a dedicated UnifiTV app too. If you watch my Mecool KM1 2020 review video, around the 21:09 mark, you should see me try the app in question. Whether it works for you, depends on your TV. Should you need more? Then you can look at alternative "ehem" sources.. I give an example in the link below.. Watch it to see what the service offers. Installation is pretty standard and I show how. I don't sell the service or care, for obvious reasons. But you can purchase directly from them or from sellers on Shopee/Lazada. usual disclaimer applies.

Should you find your TV insuffcicient. You must focus on getting a good box first and then addon services you need or want. ATV OS comes with some drawbacks, but as I've shown... It's the easier UI to use and master. Regardless, we tend to only run one app at a time. So UI is not as important to me as actual performance.

Tried SyberTV? Here's my review and demo.

ini boleh dapat signal?

dia guna apa mode untuk dapat signal?

If you want I can PM you the APK later.
Just so you know that i scanned the APK with online antivirus scanner and the result is not good.
I only install on my tv box with different gmail account use only for tv box.

boleh..digital

thanks........will look into this product......

thanks.....slowly but surely picking up this android tv thingy.....have tried install playtv@unifi into the tv.....it works

will look into your recommendation......anyway the tv box seems to bit slower then running apps in the tv.......just my personal opinion

really appreciate all you guys and gals here for the help for my journey into android tv .......thanks a million

best.

Apa masalah jika tidak dapat signal?
Antenna perlu letak di luar bangunan?

mungkin coverage kurang, kena pki booster

Glad to hear that the playtv@unifi app works directly on your TV.

Regarding speeds. It's box-dependent. Some are faster than others. But yeah, just waking the TV up from sleep and selecting the playtv@unifi app on the screen would be faster than most boxes. Plus its just one device vs 2. So yeah, try to explore more on just using the TV alone and you might just find its sufficient for your needs. Later should you find it can't do much that you'd like to? Then sure...seek out a box that will supplement it.

faham.
TQ.

Hi, Long time lurker here in this forum, First time posting in this section as I have some thoughts on
upgrading the tv box.

Not that long ago my parents acquired a "Global TV Max" tv boxes from a local supermarket store that comes preloaded with
Live TV apps and Movie apps for them. But now the TV box seems to be acting up as it's getting ridiculously slow and suffers from constant
crashes on app as well (Though not the proprietary app that the TV box used).

So I was just wondering if I could get a decent TV box, and transfer the APK into the new TV box, Would that be possible ?

Or It's better for me to just replicate the setup by findings those APK and set it up for my parents?

wish to thanks......voncrane, steven and the rest here for the information, guidance and tips given......really helping me to jump into android TV and android TV box bandwagon, really different type animal from the TV of my time......i needed few days only to find out how to link my modem to my TV and TV box after reading around stating faster internet connect if use lan connection......showing how newbies and blur of me........lol

Now that you have atv TV, you may want to try another level, click the link to download the apk/app into USB. Then plug your USB and install this in your Sony TV.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/885170z6yvrs...TV_100.apk/file

Go to File in your TV, find the apk/app to install it, launch the app and go to channel. Upper right screen you have + sign, click and input the following into the link box & click OK.
http://allrss.se/dramas
Then close the app and open the app again, go to HOME & click that..
You should now be able to scroll and view various Asian drama free of charge that is if you are into drama.

Other app you can install from Play Store in your TV ie Iqiyi, iFlix which are free
All da best

I'm unfamiliar with this "Global TV Max" TV box, and it's not unsurprising that it gets bogged down after some time, and or that some services simply stop working. I suggest you first try factory resetting the box. It won't get abandoned apps and or services to magically start working, but it'll clear some junk and "refresh" the software. You may have to re-login some stuff.

Yep, I guess you can always rip out the apk. But whether it works on another box depends on the apk and service itself. Some ehem box providers build their software to only run on their own devices and nowhere else. Only one way to find out if it'll work.

I very much prefer option 2. Get a good box, find decent services (free & paid).. Sub as needed and setup.. At least now you know exactly what you installed and if any issues? You can just uninstall and install a new app and or config new service.

You are welcome... Yeah, going wired typically offers better stability than wireless. Enjoy..

million thanks sifu Steven......will try this soon after i finished trying to install my Xioami Soundbar this weekend, my home minister will be very happy to have access to Chinese dramas
